Speedplay or Dura-Ace SL?

[OLver]

I own two sets of pedals: Speedplay X3 and Dura-Ace SPD-SL.
I like both. One set has to be sell.

wich set would you keep?
Does Speedplay's 30 degrees float prevent injuries?

Hi,

Does Speedplay's 30 degrees float prevent injuries?

No need for as much 30 degrees of lateral float IMHO but a few degrees +/- 5 or thereabout should help prevent knee problems.

BTW, maybe you could also consider the 2005 Time RX series of pedals, the Cafe cleat system is great.

I recently had to walk back home for about 10 miles after popping a RD and they hardly show any wear and tear.
With the Look cleats that would have been a totally different story, a new set of cleats for sure.

Ciao,

My vote: Sell both and buy some Time RXS Carbon.

Was it you buying a pair of those recently?

Glad to see you like them.

I'm seriously considering the Ti version as part of my bike trimming project.

Yes it's me. I really like them. Smooth entry and release. The float is perfect and they have a low stack height.

Do you think mechanical efficiency is lost because of speedplay's float?

If you mean lateral float then, no.
